According to The Block, Hypernova, a proprietary trading platform built on Hyperliquid, has completed a $3 million pre-seed funding round led by Lemniscap, with participation from Very Early Ventures, CMS Holdings, and Pivot Global. Multiple angel investors from the Hyperliquid ecosystem also participated in the round.
The platform uses smart contracts to automate trader payments and aims to address inefficiencies in traditional proprietary trading firms, such as opaque payment processes and profitable traders becoming company liabilities. Hypernova can dynamically decide whether to push positions to the market based on trader quality. The platform is currently in closed alpha and plans to launch publicly within the next two months.
